SOCG 256Sociology of Religion
This course examines religion as a social institution that liberates and oppresses, serves as catalyst for and impediment to social change, and intersects with other social institutions. Students will explore the relationship between religion and the affect, behaviors, and cognition of religious people; religious organizations and organizational leadership; and the effects of religion and religiosity on other social institutions (e.g., family, politics) and individual outcomes (e.g., health).
